Damn, you really nailed it with that car example, because I can already see the sort of errors that might arise: * did not call putFeetInCar before adding driver * did not call putShoesOnFeet before calling putFeetInCar * did not call gri

Really? I think it's fantastic to have access to that kind of information from my shell. I've certainly used it for debugging live systems. Sure I could still use something like lsof and have it monkey around with the extra sys

I Google syllabuses for whatever I want to learn and then look up whatever readings are suggested.

Eh, the second one is probably the only point I was kind of meh on. You should almost always start with an RDBMS, and it will scale for most companies for a long long time, but for some workloads or levels of scale you're probably goi

Reminds me of download.com and how that was such a go-to site for me. I still have that in my muscle memory when I open a new tab, along with a few others from my childhood.

The headline makes sense to me, but: > It is no surprise that agile processes have been proven to be so successful and useful: they emphasise collective learning. What? Every place I’ve seen “agile” practices ended up far overemphasizing

It’s tough when you have your eyes fully opened to this sort of thing. You never really see people the same way again.

A lot of the points are interesting, but I couldn't help but get hung up on the link to the covid analyist who supposedly beat the experts, at https://www.maby.app/covid/ A couple of immediate red flags: the predi

It's not hard to see that if only a few things were different, or if he had even an ounce of competence, this could have played out very differently. Let's also not forget there are still 14 days left.

It's just so obviously an absurd statement to say that if a bug is fixed and not documented meticulously in JIRA it is as useless as if it was never fixed at all. A huge portion of the day to day work of software engineering happens w

I wasn't trying to take a position either way. I'm just asking, literally, what technical means do people imagine the government taking to tax under these circumstances beyond what they already do by taxing at sale time?

I know this is usually brought up as a clearly bad thing, but I have a non-rhetorical question: what do we do about it? In this case, the value of the company Bezos created, Amazon, has gone up because it provided a useful service during th

How are these fees so low? Is there anything stopping you from taking the money and investing into index funds? I feel like I must be missing something. The most conservative investment options I know of all have >1% expected returns.
